Made a little change thanks to bjq for telling me my mistake
Lucas and Brooke had been working for Karen and Dan for over 2 weeks now and they had been enjoying their new life style. Dylan, Brooklyn and Max were excited to hear that they would be starting school after the holidays. ''Mommy, is Santa going to visit us tonight now we have a home.'' Max asked Brooke.
'I don't know baby, he might.'' Brooke said. Brooke and Lucas had been trying to save the money that wasn't needed for groceries so they could buy a tree and a few presents for the kids. They were putting the tree up while Lucas was at work, Karen had given Brooke the morning off.
''Mommy, why can't daddy help us.'' Brooklyn asked.
''Daddy had to work so we can have some money to spend over the holidays and mommy has to go to work soon so let's finish the tree.'' Brooke told him just as Ethan's cries came from the other room. ''You finish up the tree and mommy will go get Ethan.'' Brooke told her kids. ''Hi little guy.'' Brooke said lifting Ethan from the bassinet Karen had giving them. ''Mommy will always be here for you and your brothers.'' Brooke told him as she sat on the bed and started to feed him. She remembered the day that Karen and Dan had brought over the bassinet and Karen broke down in tears when she saw the teddy bear that was hidden in the covers. It was a teddy that her son Lucas' name on it, someone had given it to her when the boys were born.
''Mommy the tree is finished.'' Dylan said coming into the room.
''I'll be right out baby, can you tell your brothers to put their coat and shoes on and we will get ready to go to the cafe.'' Brooke told him as Ethan finished feeding and she began to burp him.
''Ok mommy.'' Dylan said before running out of the room. ''Mommy said to put on your coat and shoes.'' He told the others.
''Can you help me Dylan.'' Wyatt asked.
''Come on.'' Dylan said taking Wyatt's hand and sitting him on the floor and getting his shoes and putting them on for him, he then helped him put his coat on. Before putting his own on and getting Christopher's coat and shoes and putting them on the 1 year old.
''Are we all ready to go.'' Brooke asked. The 5 boys nodded. ''Thank you for helping your brothers.'' Brooke told Dylan.

''Hi Karen.'' Brooke said coming into the cafe which was very busy.
''Brooke, boys.'' Karen said.
Brooke walked into the back with the kids. ''Stay in here and draw.'' Brooke said putting Ethan and Christopher into the play pen.
''Okay mommy.'' They answered Brooke.
Brooke grabbed her apron and went back into the front. ''Did you get the tree up.'' Karen asked.
''Yeah the boys loved it.'' Brooke told her as she pick the pad and pen up and walked over to a table. ''Hi welcome to Karen's cafe, can I take you order.'' Brooke asked.
''Could I have 2 coffees and a Panini and a Cesar salad.'' The woman asked.
''Sure, I'll be right back with your coffee's.'' Brooke told the couple.
After serving the couple their coffee and food Lucas, Dan and Nathan came into the cafe and took a seat. ''What can I get you three.'' Brooke asked them.
''Coffee please babe.'' Lucas asked.
''I'll have a coffee too Brooke.'' Nathan told her.
''I'll have a coffee too.'' Dan told her.
''I'll be right back.'' Brooke told them.
''I'll just going to go see your mom.'' Dan told Nathan then left the seat to go to Karen.
''Hello there.'' Peyton and Rachel said sliding into the booth beside Lucas.
''Hi.'' Lucas said looking a Nathan with a raised eyebrow.
''So what is someone like you sitting with that.'' Peyton asked.
''I'm having a cup of coffee with a workmate.'' Lucas said.
''Do you fancy going out sometime.'' Peyton asked him, she was trying to flirt with him but Lucas was taking no notice of her.
''I'm married.'' Lucas stated.
''I don't see a ring.'' Peyton said.
''I don't need a ring to know I'm married. I love my wife and I'm not going to go on a date with another woman especially no one that looks like you or looks like her.'' Lucas told Peyton while pointing between her and Rachel.
''By the way I didn't think you two were the type of people to go out with someone who has no money, isn't that what you keep telling Haley.'' Nathan asked them with a smirk. Peyton and Rachel got up with a scoff. ''If they know who have no money they'll leave you alone.'' Nathan explained to Lucas.
''Thanks.'' Lucas told Nathan. ''Thanks baby.'' Lucas told Brooke when she came back with their coffee.
''Your dad told me to tell you he was having his coffee up at the counter with your mom.'' Brooke told Nathan as she handed him his coffee.
''Thanks Brooke.'' Nathan said.
Brooke went back to work. ''You can tell me to mind my own business but how did your brother go missing.'' Lucas asked Nathan.
''How did you end up with your parents if they're not your parents.'' Nathan asked Lucas.
''I don't really remember much, I remember playing with another boy my age when I was about 4 or 5 when a man took me and gave me to them.'' Lucas told Nathan.
''My brother and I were playing in the front yard and he fell so I went into the house to get my mom and dad and when we came back out he was gone. My mom and dad never stopped looking for him until we were 18 then they thought if he wanted to come and find us he would now he was 18 and if he doesn't then that is up to him.'' Nathan told him.
''Lucas, Nathan are you two ready to head back to work.'' Dan said coming to the table with Karen.
''Yeah.'' Nathan said. ''See ya later mom.'' Nathan said to Karen kissing her cheek.
''You and Haley are still coming to ours tomorrow.'' Karen asked Nathan.
''Yeah mom, wouldn't miss your dinner on Christmas.'' Nathan said.
''Lucas, why don't you, Brooke and the kids come to ours for Christmas dinner.'' Karen asked Lucas.
''I'll have to talk to Brooke.'' Lucas said.
''Why don't you go talk to her now. We can wait.'' Dan told him.
Lucas walked away to talk to Brooke. ''Hey baby, Karen and Dan want to know if we want to go to theirs for dinner tomorrow for Christmas.'' Lucas asked Brooke.
''I don't mind, what do you want to do.'' Brooke asked as she prepared another cup of coffee and a hot chocolate for the man standing at the counter.
''It's up to you baby, I don't mind where we eat.'' Lucas told her.
''Yeah we should go to Karen and Dan's then.'' Brooke told him. ''Here you go that will be $5 dollars then.'' Brooke said.
''Here you go and here's a tip for you.'' The man said handing Brooke $7 dollars.
''Thank you.'' Brooke told the man. ''Go back to work before you're fired and tell them we will be there.'' Brooke said.
''See ya later baby.'' Lucas said .
''so will we be having you tomorrow for dinner.'' Karen asked Lucas as he came back to the group.
''Yeah we'll be there. Thanks.'' Lucas told her.
''Let's go.'' Dan said. ''See you when I finish.'' Dan said.
-x-
''Okay Brooke, I'll see you all tomorrow.'' Karen said.
''Bye Karen, good night.'' Brooke said as she picked Ethan and Christopher up.
''Goodnight, be safe going to the store.'' Karen said as she walked Brooke out and began to lock up the cafe.
Brooke was crossing to the road when she heard a car beeping. She turned round to look and saw Dylan had froze in the middle of the road. ''DYLAN!'' Brooke called as the others watched.
Dylan was scared that the truck was going to hit him and he couldn't move. ''DYLAN!'' He heard his mom call before he was pushed out of the way by someone.
Dan, Nathan and Karen stood watching in horror as Lucas ran out in front of the truck and pushed Dylan off the road but they also saw that Lucas didn't have time to get off the road before the truck hit him. Karen ran across the road to Brooke and took the kids from her. ''I'll stand here with the kids you go to Dylan. Dan and Nathan are going to check on Lucas.'' Karen said.
''Dylan, baby come here.'' Brooke said when she got to her sons side.
''I'm sorry mommy.'' Dylan cried as he held Brooke tightly.
''It wasn't you baby, you were scared and you froze.'' Brooke told him and held him even tighter.
Dylan began crying, scared his daddy would die.
''Hi 911 what is your emergency.'' The person on the other end of the phone said.
''I have a road accident a man has been hit by a truck outside Karen's cafe on the main street.'' Dan said.
''Is the casualty still breathing.'' She asked.
''It is shallow.'' Dan told her.
''The ambulance is on its way.'' She said.
''They are coming now.'' Dan said as he hung his phone up.

''Mrs Chambers, your husband is critical.'' The Doctor came out and told her.
''Has he got any chance of surviving.'' Brooke asked. Haley and Nathan had taken the kids back to theirs.
''A very slight chance.'' The Doctor told her. ''He needs a blood transfusion before we can bring him into surgery.'' The Doctor told her.
''Then give him a blood transfusion.'' Brooke asked him.
''Your husband is AB- it is a very rare blood group only about 1 per cent of people have that blood group.'' The doctor told her.
''I'm AB-.'' Dan said. ''I would like to donate some blood.'' Dan told them.
''If your sure Mr Scott follow me.'' The Doctor said.
Dan followed the doctor as Brooke took a seat by Karen. ''My son Lucas was AB-, Nathan was lucky he got my blood type.'' Karen said.
''Do you ever hope that he would come back to you.'' Brooke asked no was no point in crying she had to be strong for Lucas.
''Everyday.'' Karen said.
''Hi I was told I would find my son Lucas Chambers here.'' A woman asked at the reception desk.
''If you just want to take a seat in the waiting room his wife is there and she can fill you in.'' The nurse told the couple.
''Can someone tell me who is married to our son Lucas Chambers.'' The woman asked.
''I'm his wife and you aren't wanted here. He wants nothing to do with you.'' Brooke said standing up.
''Jules.'' Dan said when he came back from donating the blood. ''What are you doing here.'' Dan told him.
''My son is the reason I am here.'' Jules said. ''I would like to donate more blood my husband and I.'' Jules told the doctor.
-x-
''Mr and Mrs Chambers, I couldn't use your blood. You're not the same blood type as Lucas.'' The doctor said when he came back 20 minutes later. ''The blood Mr Scott donated was enough to stabilize him so we can bring him to surgery.'' He told them.
''What do you mean we aren't the same blood type as Lucas.'' Jules asked.
''Lucas is AB-, you and your husband are o positive.'' The Dr told them. ''We have reason to believe that Lucas is not your son. We have contacted the police as we also have reason to believe that Lucas is the missing boy of Dan and Karen Scott.'' He told them.
''Did I hear you correctly, that the boy we brought in could be our son.'' Dan asked.
''We will know more when the police arrive and we can do a DNA test. As Lucas is unable to give his consent it will be up to his wife to allow us to take the sample.'' He told them.
''Please Brooke, you asked if I ever prayed that Lucas would come back to me, and this could be the answer to my prayers.'' Karen told her.
''You can take the sample.'' Brooke told him.
''Mr and Mrs Scott if you want to follow me and we can get started. The quicker we get it done the faster we can have your results.'' The Dr said.
-x-
An hour later and the Dr who was doing the DNA test came back with two officers. ''Mr and Mrs Chamber these officers are here to take you.'' The Dr told them. ''Mr and Mrs Scott we have the results back and we can reveal that Lucas Chambers is really Lucas Scott.'' The Dr told them.
''Paul and Jules Chambers you are both under arrest for the kidnapping of Lucas Scott.'' One of the officers read them their rights.
''We have our son back Dan.'' Karen said as she hugged Dan.
Brooke watched with a smile. ''Is Lucas going to be okay.'' Brooke asked.
''He's still in surgery at the moment. Once he is finished the Dr will be right out to tell you.'' The Dr told her.
''That then means that we have 2 daughters and 6 grandsons.'' Dan told Karen.
Karen pulled out of Dan's arms and went over to Brooke and hugged her. Brooke hugged her back. ''Thank you for looking after my son.'' Karen told her.
''He's the one who has looked after me.'' Brooke told her.
''I'll go get some coffee we could be here awhile.'' Dan said before walking down the corridor.

''Hales we have to go back to the hospital. My parents have something to tell us.'' Nathan said after he got off the phone.
''Let's go then.'' Haley said.
Nathan and Haley loaded the kids into the car. ''Is my daddy okay.'' Brooklyn asked.
''He's going to be fine.'' Haley told them.
Once they reached the hospital they found Karen, Brooke and Dan in the waiting room. ''Dad we're here what's up.'' Nathan asked.
''Mommy.'' The kids called running to Brooke.
''We had to tell you and it was something that couldn't wait till tomorrow.' Dan told him.
''Well what is it.'' Nathan asked as Haley handed Ethan to Brooke.
''We have found Lucas.'' Dan said.
''My brother Lucas.'' Nathan asked.
''Yeah, the Lucas who has been working with us is actually our Lucas.'' Dan told him.
''Did I just hear Dan right, your husband is their son.'' Haley asked Brooke.
''That's what the doctor said.'' Brooke told her.
''Mommy is daddy okay.'' Dylan asked quietly.
''The doctors are still working on him.'' Brooke told him.
''Is it my fault that daddy is here.'' Dylan asked.
''No sweetheart, your daddy didn't want you to get hurt, so he ran out so he could save you.'' Karen told him.
''Mrs Chambers, your husband's surgery was a success.'' The Dr told them.
''Can I see him.'' Brooke asked.
''You can see him shortly he is just being brought into a room.'' The Dr said.
